Electrostatic Fields
Electrostatic fields are produced by charges at rest.
The main objective of this chapter is to provide detailed concepts of electrostatics. They include:
- applications of electrostatics
- charge distributions
- Coulomb’s law, applications and limitations
- Gauss’s law, applications and limitation
- potential functions
- Poisson’s and Laplace’s equations
- conductors, dielectrics and capacitors
- energy stored in electrostatic fields and capacitors
- fields in dielectrics and boundary conditions
- solved problems, points/formulae to remember, objective and multiple choice questions and exercise problems.
